− | The Medi Gun | + | The '''Medi Gun''' is the default [[Weapons#medicsecondary|secondary weapon]] for the [[Medic]]. It is a modified team-colored [[w:Fire hose|fire hose]] nozzle wrapped in black tape and outfitted with a bottom handle, which is connected to the Medic's backpack by a hose. It fires a glowing team-colored beam into the recipient, who then emits similarly colored cross symbols, similar to a [[Teleporters|Teleporter]] trail. When a disguised [[Spy]] is overhealed, enemies can also see the team-colored crosses. |
− | + | Instead of damaging enemies, the Medi Gun heals injured allies and temporarily boosts their health, up to a maximum of 150% of base health (see [[overheal]]ing). Its healing rate is variable, from 24 HP per second, for patients who have been damaged in the past 10 seconds, to a maximum of 72 HP per second, for patients who have not been damaged in the past 15 seconds. Newly-spawned teammates also heal at 72 HP per second. When the heal target has not taken damage in the past 10 to 15 seconds, the rate at which the Medi Gun heals increases linearly from 24 to 72 HP per second (for example, a player who has not taken damage in the past 12.5 seconds will heal at a rate of 48 HP per second). Afterburn from {{tooltip|certain sources|Any flamethrower, Huo-Long Heater's ring of fire, Sharpened Volcano Fragment, or lit Huntsman arrows}} reduces healing from the Medi Gun by 50% for the duration of the burn. | |
− | |||
− | + | When healing, the Medi Gun's [[ÜberCharge]] bar fills at a rate of 2.5% per second. However, this rate is halved when healing targets whose health is at 142.5% or higher, or if the player is being healed by an additional healing beam (such as from another Medic, a [[Dispenser]] or the [[Payload#Carts|Payload cart]]). The ÜberCharge build penalty from each heal source stacks, further reducing the charge rate. On maps with a pre-round timer, the Medi Gun's ÜberCharge rate is increased to triple the normal rate pre-round, but this rate is still reduced if the target is being healed by multiple sources. Healing injured teammates doubles the Medic's current rate of natural health regeneration. | |

− | + | When healing a patient with a faster movement speed than the Medic, the Medic's speed is increased to match the patient, allowing him to keep up with faster teammates. However, the Medi Gun cannot mirror [[explosive jump|blast jumps]] or [[Charging|charges]] like the [[Quick-Fix]]. Any kills for the patient are counted as assists for the Medic, and add to their [[Killstreak Kit|killstreak]] if they are using a killstreak Medi Gun. | |
− | ===General=== | + | When the ÜberCharge meter is full, it is deployed by pressing the alt-fire button {{DK|MOUSE2}}. The Medic and his target are encased in team-colored shells that render them invulnerable to damage (but not knockback) for {{tooltip|9 seconds|8 seconds of full ÜberCharge, 1 extra second of flashing afterwards}}<!-- Says 9 seconds instead of 8 because the flash still renders you invincible -->. Disguised Spies that trick an enemy Medic into ÜberCharging them are also invulnerable. While the ÜberCharge is active, the Medic and his patient are unable to [[Control point (objective)|capture a point]], [[Payload#Cart mechanics|push the cart]], or [[Capture the Flag#Intelligence|carry the intelligence]]. However, they are still able to block the enemy team from capturing the point or pushing their cart. The Medic cannot deploy an ÜberCharge while carrying the intelligence, and any attempt to do so will not affect the ÜberCharge meter. |
+ | |||
+ | The Medi Gun's beam stays locked onto its target as long as the wielding Medic keeps the primary fire button {{DK|MOUSE1|link=no}} held down and stays within range. This allows the Medic to turn around and effectively keep an eye out for incoming enemies from behind, and even heal allies from around corners. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In [[Multiplayer options#Advanced multiplayer options|Advanced multiplayer options]], there is an option to have the beam stay locked on without having to hold down the primary fire button, and another option that displays an arrow over the heal target. | ||

“ | With my breakthrough, I could do in seconds what would take other doctors months! I could take men to the peak of health, and beyond! I could make GODS!
— The Medic
|
” |
The Medi Gun is the default secondary weapon for the Medic. It is a modified team-colored fire hose nozzle wrapped in black tape and outfitted with a bottom handle, which is connected to the Medic's backpack by a hose. It fires a glowing team-colored beam into the recipient, who then emits similarly colored cross symbols, similar to a Teleporter trail. When a disguised Spy is overhealed, enemies can also see the team-colored crosses.
Instead of damaging enemies, the Medi Gun heals injured allies and temporarily boosts their health, up to a maximum of 150% of base health (see overhealing). Its healing rate is variable, from 24 HP per second, for patients who have been damaged in the past 10 seconds, to a maximum of 72 HP per second, for patients who have not been damaged in the past 15 seconds. Newly-spawned teammates also heal at 72 HP per second. When the heal target has not taken damage in the past 10 to 15 seconds, the rate at which the Medi Gun heals increases linearly from 24 to 72 HP per second (for example, a player who has not taken damage in the past 12.5 seconds will heal at a rate of 48 HP per second). Afterburn from certain sources reduces healing from the Medi Gun by 50% for the duration of the burn.
When healing, the Medi Gun's ÜberCharge bar fills at a rate of 2.5% per second. However, this rate is halved when healing targets whose health is at 142.5% or higher, or if the player is being healed by an additional healing beam (such as from another Medic, a Dispenser or the Payload cart). The ÜberCharge build penalty from each heal source stacks, further reducing the charge rate. On maps with a pre-round timer, the Medi Gun's ÜberCharge rate is increased to triple the normal rate pre-round, but this rate is still reduced if the target is being healed by multiple sources. Healing injured teammates doubles the Medic's current rate of natural health regeneration.
When healing a patient with a faster movement speed than the Medic, the Medic's speed is increased to match the patient, allowing him to keep up with faster teammates. However, the Medi Gun cannot mirror blast jumps or charges like the Quick-Fix. Any kills for the patient are counted as assists for the Medic, and add to their killstreak if they are using a killstreak Medi Gun.
When the ÜberCharge meter is full, it is deployed by pressing the alt-fire button (default key: MOUSE2). The Medic and his target are encased in team-colored shells that render them invulnerable to damage (but not knockback) for 9 seconds. Disguised Spies that trick an enemy Medic into ÜberCharging them are also invulnerable. While the ÜberCharge is active, the Medic and his patient are unable to capture a point, push the cart, or carry the intelligence. However, they are still able to block the enemy team from capturing the point or pushing their cart. The Medic cannot deploy an ÜberCharge while carrying the intelligence, and any attempt to do so will not affect the ÜberCharge meter.
The Medi Gun's beam stays locked onto its target as long as the wielding Medic keeps the primary fire button (default key: MOUSE1) held down and stays within range. This allows the Medic to turn around and effectively keep an eye out for incoming enemies from behind, and even heal allies from around corners.
In Advanced multiplayer options, there is an option to have the beam stay locked on without having to hold down the primary fire button, and another option that displays an arrow over the heal target.

Bugs
- Taking environmental damage can sometimes cause the player to lose the team-colored overlay when under the effects of the ÜberCharge.
- Healing a player with any Medi Gun may sometimes result in the heal target getting 1 to 2 HP over the max overheal for that target.
- The beam from the Medi Gun and its variants can sometimes visually glitch client-side, making the beam trail off into the distance or even disappear while healing a target.
Trivia
- If the Medic heals an enemy Spy that kills a teammate, the Medic is awarded a kill assist. The Medic is also credited for an assist if he heals a Spy that successfully saps a building.
- This also makes it possible for a friendly Medic to dominate a teammate if the Medic gets credited with enough of the Spy's kills on a single teammate.
- It also makes it possible for the Medic to assist in his own death.
